Date night on a budget

Its me again, with a second post of the day (oooh snazzy!) but this post is a fashion post (snazzy again) and in this post I am going to create an outfit, with a budget of £50 which i think is a good amount for a student or just a person on a general monthly budget who's got a cheeky date they want to look uber fabulous for!

So, I went searching the good old interweb looking for some bargains that look posh and oh boy, youre in for a treat! 

For this look, ive gone for a girly classy look. So, as its summer and lots of lovely girlies have tans, ive gone for a "cream" which I personally think is more on the white side dress from Boohoo. 

Dress; £20.00 

Its called the Nadine Scallop Lace Belted Skater Dress. The thing I like about this is that the lace detailing at the top is very sweet. The V neck lace line is very delicate which then goes into a suttle sweetheart neck line which is absolutely great for all body shapes. Also, because of the style of the dress (skater) it is slimming and fits all figures nicely shaping you in all the right places. The gold belt also adds that little bit of glamour if you want it, which you could also remove. 

If it gets chilly during the night you will want a light cardy to pop over the dress so i just went for a simple black cardigan from New Look. 

Cardigan; £9.99 

Well, where can you go without shoes?! As were all different, im going to add in two pair of shoes, one pair of high heels and one pair of flats.

Heels; £15.00

These very cute little peep toe heels will go amazingly with the dress and cardigan, also, of course giving you a little bit of height if youre on the smaller side (like me!) so its a win-win. 

Now for the people who like flats, I have found this gorgeous pair of white gladiator sandals with gold buckle detailing. I am in love with them and I am definitely going to have to buy them for myself. 

Sandal; £15.00

And then it was time for accessories, because of the neck line on the dress, I personally think there is too much going on up there for a necklace, but as your arms will hopefully be bare if its a warm sunny night a gold bracelet would be perfect. 

Bracelet; £4.00

This bracelet is absolutely to die for. I am in love with it! It is called the Lauren Coin Bracelet from Boohoo and it is so affordable. As you can very well see, it is a medium size gold chain with 9 gold coins coming off in differing sizes. The perfect way to tie this look together. 

So, apart from the cardigan everything is from Boohoo, which is an amazing website for affordable good quality clothing so I highly recommend it. 

Flat shoes outfit price - £48.99 High heeled outfit price - £48.99

So the flat shoes outfit came to a reasonable price with £1.01 to spare which could buy you a new nail varnish from MUA to match your outfit which would be rather nice. 

I also managed to spend the same amount on the heeled version of this outfit so once again a nice nail varnish wouldnt go a miss!

Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara

Hey everyone! First a bit of admin,  now, I know I said I would do a review on the Elegant Touch false nails, but I kind of forgot because ive been super busy recently, but I will do a tiny little review on them in a couple of posts time if you guys still want that. Also, my pictures would be much better quality but i was in a rush to a family party and quite frankly, my lighting was crap, i'm sorry! 

Anyway, enough rambling. So I popped into my local town centre with one of my best friends Abi, who might feature in a post or even a video in the future (hint, hint) but we'll have to see. So, of course, me being me, had to go to Superdrug. I was desperate for a new mascara as mine had run out, but as much as I love my Rimmel Scandaleyes Show Off one, I was itching to try a new one. 

So in my little thought pocket in my brain, I was wondering what mascara had gotten really good or mixed reviews that I could review on my blog. Tanya Burr, who is one of my favourite beauty guru's on youtube, used to praise the product I bought to the highest heavens so I thought id give it a go.

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara. The mascara is supposed to create the look of false lashes without the fuss, hence the name. 

First off, the colour. I am in love with this! It is easy to see in my makeup bag and when im rushing around running errands or im in school its easy just to grab because of how visible it is. Also, the packaging it came in is very easy to open, so when I first picked this up I didnt need to hack away with scissors to get into my mascara which I quickly needed to apply, which I am a big fan of! 

The packaging of the actual bottle of the mascara is small and great for a handbag makeup bag or just to chuck in your bag. Ive been told I have very small hands so, if my hands are small, think of how small this little guy is! 

The latest thing with mascars seems to be oddly shaped brushes but this mascara is what they call a "spoon" brush, not to mad but not as simple as a straight brush.

Hopefully from the picture you can see the "spoon" shape. The only thing I would say is wrong with this is that the brush does collect too much of the actual product, which means before applying you have to wipe the excess mascara off the brush onto the bottle which can get a little messy, but if you wipe the bottle once youre done you'll be fine and dandy. 

The first time i used this I didnt realise so I put on this product and immediately went into the mind set of disliking it as it made me look like i have about 4 lashes. However, I wiped it off and decided to retry because believe me, I so wanted to love this product! So I applied two thin coats with the flat side of the brush onto my lashes which made them look nice, but I also waited for that to dry and then i applied one more thin coat with the arched side to give my lashes abit of a curl and they did look good, I have to give it that.

Im not quite sure the product lived up to the hype and rave, and I dont think its much less hassle that putting on falsies (sorry maybelline!) and the price is just a bit over what i am willing to pay for a mascara each month whenever I run out, however, this product is ok and i will continue using it until it runs out but this mascara is just a bit too wet for me, but i have heard it goes abit stiffer/tacky or whatever you would like to call it after a week of use so maybe next week I will be loving this product! I will keep you updated.

Elegant Touch - False Nails

So, its the summer and i'm not at school. Now at school, were not allowed to have nail polish on or fake nails else you will be sent to take the polish or nails off. So wasting your polish or money isn't really worth it. 

But, as its summer, I thought i'd have some fun with fake nails. I'm not a big fan of them if i'm honest, I find it hard to do little everyday things but I thought i'd give these a go. 

As you can see from the picture above, yes, too many of your's disgust, I am a biter. It's a habit and one that is extremely hard to stop. So these nails are hopefully going to make my hands a little bit more pleasant to look at. 

I bought these at my local Superdrug and they were at a fair price of £6.35. 

These are the French Manicure - American Babe 144 style. 

As I only bought these today I will do a review on them in a week or so, but i will insert a picture down below of what they look like on!
